Na
2CO
3 + 2HCI → 2NaCI + H
2O + CO
2. Using the above equation, what volume of carbondioxide, measured at s.t.p is liberated when 53g of sodium carbonate is dissolved in hydrochloric acid?
(1 mole of gas occupies 22.4 dm
3 at s.t.p)
(Na = 23, C = 12, O = 16)
-
A.
44.8 dm3
-
B.
11.2 dm3
-
C.
100.1 dm3
-
D.
3.0 dm3
-
E.
22.4 dm3
Correct Answer: Option B
Explanation
Na2CO3 + 2HCI → 2NaCI +H2O + CO2
53 gm Na2CO3 will therefore liberate (22.4)/(106) x (53)/(1) = 11.2 dm3
